Job Description
The role of the postdoctoral researchers is to conduct research as part of the two above mentioned projects—the GloPal-project (Research Council of Finland, 2025-2029) and the HOMCRI-project (ERC Consolidator Grant, 2023-2028). The projects are led by Prof. Mikko Joronen and are implemented by a research team of eight researchers: 3 postdoctoral researchers, a senior research fellow, 3 PhD-students, and the PI, all affiliated to Geographies of Coloniality and Everyday Violence Research Group’ (GOCEP) at Tampere University.
We are looking for a postdoctoral researcher to a work with a work package of GloPal-project that explores environmentally damaging forms of security and militarization, particularly how they are developed, implemented, assembled and legitimized through the colonial frontiers in Palestine, but also through technologies, practices, and ecological harms that travel to and reshape—frontier in—other sites around the world. The hiring also relates to a component of the HOMCRI project, particularly its efforts to develop novel conceptual approaches and to investigate the lived materialities of environmental violence in Palestine. Postdoctoral researcher is expected to devote most of the time to research, including independent and collaborative fieldwork, analysis and collection of research materials, publishing and dissemination of results, and collaboration with other team members as outlined in the project plan. The remaining work time will be devoted to other project activities and teaching (no more than 5% of annual work time); these will be agreed upon separately.
The position provides an excellent opportunity to develop independent research profile in relation to key themes of the project, and by working with an interdisciplinary and international research team on themes closely related to critical and political geographies of environmental violence in Palestine.
